I've started the long weary search amongst the hundreds of thousands of articles on the web to find a technique for
- a pure CSS popout menu
- which will work _fully_ with Internet Explorer - with the same results as with other browsers
- which I can adapt and rewrite myself to suit my needs rather than use a WSWIWYG program
- which validates, and
- which is free.

Firstly, does such a technique exist? Or should I look for a combined CSS and javascript technique?
Secondly, could some kind soul point me to a few options to review?

Please don't refer me to Eric Meyer's pure CSS menus; he admits himself that they do not work fully with Internet Explorer.

Regards, Alex

Have you looked at SuckerFish?

It does use a little JavaScript for IE, but that is needed (at least for IE6).

Thanks, Pandy.

No, I've not looked at it yet, but it's on my list - it's referred to in Elizabeth Castro's book which I use a lot.

If I can't find a pure CSS solution that's where I'll go first.

You can't if you want it to work in IE6.

Go see at CSSPlay, some are claimed to be cross-browser and pure CSS.

Thanks to you both. I've been to CSSPlay, and all I could find was something with required the download of a free javascript. It looked very impressive, but I think I'll stay with the Son of Suckerfish.

I think I'm quite close to adapting it to do what I want.

Regards, Alex.

If you want to stick to Son of Suckerfish, that's ok.

Nevertheless, have you seen these:

Thanks so much, Frederiek. No, I hadn't seen these. They look very impressive.

I've downloaded the page and will certainly try the vertical layout out.
